She felt the rage built
She was out of her mind
They would no longer
Try to run her life
Anger fueled her rage
She began to hack
Did in by her axe
Her mother and father
Never stood a chance

“Lizzie Borden took an axe
gave her mother forty whacks
when she saw what she had done
gave her father forty-one”
Always wondered what put her over the edge. Such a brutal crime in a family. I guess it reminds us all to be kind to our children.
